Hey tamo

I have pilates soon then will go to asda and i have to shower later
Other than that, i have a free day!

You up to much?

not_so_insig 04-09-2022 11:11 AM

I am ok thanks Beckie. I think one of my neighbours has a bird because I keep on hearing whistling. Either that or I am hallucinating.

I havent got much on today.

not_so_insig 04-09-2022 11:38 AM

Ok the bird has shut up now.

Cacoethes 04-09-2022 12:05 PM

I often hear random things too.
The amount of times i have to mute the tv to work out where it's coming from!
Used to it now.

Done pilates and asda.
Now I'm not sure what to do with myself!

tamobhuuta 04-09-2022 12:26 PM

I'm meant to have my prayer group but I'm worried I've got a funny tummy. So I'm going to see how lunch goes.

nonperson 04-09-2022 12:40 PM

Afternoon all.

not_so_insig 04-09-2022 12:43 PM

Afternoon nonperson how are you?

Cacoethes 04-09-2022 12:45 PM

Hope your tummy is ok tamo!

Hey np!
How are you?

nonperson 04-09-2022 01:00 PM

Hey. I'm bloody shattered. My sister left a little while ago.

How're you both?

Cacoethes 04-09-2022 01:02 PM

Did you have a nice time having your sister over?

I'm ok.
Just wishing I'd bought biscuits at asda

not_so_insig 04-09-2022 01:19 PM

I am ok but contemplating what to do with my day. There's only one programme I want to watch on the telly today.

nonperson 04-09-2022 02:05 PM

Yeah we did have a nice time. We were at the Harry Potter studio tour for 7 hours on Friday! Both still recovering now, I think =)

Can you get biscuits tomorrow, Beckie?

No DVDs to watch, Dawn?

one_step_closer 04-09-2022 02:12 PM

Hi everyone.

Do you have time to rest now NP?

I want some biscuits now too!

Cacoethes 04-09-2022 02:15 PM

Awesome!
I love the harry potter studios. Really want to go again!

I'm at work tomorrow so probably not.

Which biscuits lindsay?!

one_step_closer 04-09-2022 02:24 PM

The same kind that you mentioned. So tasty! But I try not to buy big things because I eat them quickly or I'm up through the night eating them. I got stuff for salad yesterday but I'm ignoring them for now!

one_step_closer 04-09-2022 02:25 PM

Crookshanks is enthusiastically licking and biting my face.

Zurg 04-09-2022 02:54 PM

That's true kitty love Lindsay <3

Glad you had fun with your sister NP :)

I'm tired. Stressed out. Massive nausea. Should have cancelled going with my mum to visit my brother today. But she is not the kind of person you cancel stuff with lest you have time and energy for a very long apology/explanation/more apology/being cast out of the family…. So.

Cacoethes 04-09-2022 03:03 PM

I do like a salad sometimes!

Awww bless him!

That sounds very difficult zurg
Are you home now?

one_step_closer 04-09-2022 04:34 PM

Do you have to visit for long, Kat?

What's everyone doing with the rest of the day?

Cacoethes 04-09-2022 04:37 PM

I'm binge watching the 4400 still.
Need to shower later

How about you?

one_step_closer 04-09-2022 04:40 PM

Are there many episodes? I hope you can pull yourself away to have a shower at some point!

I'm just about to start Cathy Glass's new book then when Crookshanks has had his dinner I'll clean all his bowls etc. Then more reading and some TV.

Cacoethes 04-09-2022 04:49 PM

4 seasons. Haven't noticed how many episodes per season. But I'm on season 2!

Sounds good!
Aren't Cathy glass books pretty sad?
I think i read a few when i was a teenager

Zurg 04-09-2022 05:08 PM

We only spend about an hour at his place, Lindsay. But driving there takes more than an hour each way.

I tried to take a nap. Alberte the bunny decided to pee on me, my blanket and the couch. And also poop all over it. I love her, she's my wee beast but i Think i need some advice on how to handle this until she can be neutralised. She has pretty much peed all over my couch for the past 4 or 5 days. Spraying it with something to remove the smell of urine doesn't phase her at all. She just pees in a new spot.

I'm tired. Grumpy and frustrated. Mostly with myself for not being able to cope with this. I have been so tired and exhausted and sensitive to everything since i stopped with antipsychotic medication….

Cacoethes 04-09-2022 05:23 PM

Have you tried asking for advice on any rabbit groups on fb? Fb groups can be quite good for advice sometimes!

How long have you been off the meds? I think sometimes it can take a while to get back to a normal level. If that makes sense

WHAT. It's out and neither me nor K noticed?????

Also second the suggest of facebook groups for rabbit advice! K gets amazing information from a chinchilla group they're in to make us Supreme Chinchilla Owners.

Also2, hi everyone!

Cacoethes 04-09-2022 05:59 PM

Hello Jenna!

What have you been up to today?

Pi.R^2 04-09-2022 06:02 PM

The main news story from today is venlafaxine withdrawal due to my poor organisation skills :crying:

How are you?

Oh, apparently K did know and just didn't tell me. Turns out I married a jerk.

Cacoethes 04-09-2022 06:32 PM

Ugghg Venlafaxine withdrawal is the absolute WORST med withdrawal I've ever been through! And I've been on (and withdrawn from) ALL the meds!!!
Hope you get it sorted!

I'm ok.
Just showered.

Omg! Marriage counselling immediately!

Zurg 04-09-2022 07:28 PM

No!!! Marriage counselling is so last year!!! Emotional blackmail is where we're at!!! So Jenna, just whisper into her ears, in your most passive agressive voice, “if you TRULY love me then NEVER withold vital information from me again!!!!”

….or maybe don't listen to me. I haven't had a partner for almost 20 years because i generally hate people a little bit….

I am in a rabbit Facebook group. But it scares me to ask for advice…. Years ago i was active on a Forum for people who kept rodents as pets. Those people were cruel and heartless and very Quick to yell animal abuser. It made me never want to join such a community ever again….

Cacoethes 04-09-2022 07:37 PM

Or you could read it before them and spoil it?

But yeah. Not been in a relationship for like 8 years so don't listen to me either!!!

Ah that's the thing about the Internet. Some people can really suck.
But WE know that you're not an animal abuser! And we are the only people that matter! :tongue2:

Zurg 04-09-2022 08:18 PM

(The only relationship i've been in ever wasn't particulary successful either so maybe just disregard relationship advice from me in general…)

I know logically i am not an animal abuser. But the fear lingers because i have alters that don't really care much about pets….
And those people back then….!!! If i had run into them today i'd seriously have considered reporting them to the police department that handles cyber crime. I never even knew adults could be THAT heartless!!

I have fled my livingroom and the chaos of my tiny zoo and retreated to my bedroom. Certain times of day are apparently ‘chaos and disorder-time' which happens to include the final hour before bedtime. I love my tiny pets but some days i quite look forward to them all going to bed ;-)

Cacoethes 04-09-2022 08:32 PM

That sounds really tough
I know you do the best for your little zoo

They sound a bit like toddlers!
Or jasmine! Always chaos before bedtime!

I called 111 who have insisted on calling an ambulance for me so that's fun

Cacoethes 05-09-2022 07:50 AM

Morning everyone!

My Internet is down :plain:
According to virgin media, it has been temporarily disconnected but will be back shortly.
Bloody hope so!

Zurg 05-09-2022 09:44 AM

Morning Beckie.
What happened with the ambulance??? Are you okay??
Xx

tamobhuuta 05-09-2022 10:16 AM

Are you OK Cacoethes??

Cacoethes 05-09-2022 10:20 AM

Morning guys

Yeah I'm ok thanks
All obs were fine except blood pressure which was really high. They did say it's above the threshold where they would recommend hospital but also that I'd probably be ok. So i decided against hospital. Not feeling 100% but I'll contact the doctors tomorrow

How are you guys

tamobhuuta 05-09-2022 10:22 AM

Can you take it easy today?

tamobhuuta 05-09-2022 10:40 AM

How are you Zurg?

tamobhuuta 05-09-2022 12:40 PM

I discovered yesterday that a chai latte is made with milk, not coffee.

not_so_insig 05-09-2022 01:35 PM

Afternoon all.

tamobhuuta 05-09-2022 03:29 PM

Hi insig, how are you?

not_so_insig 05-09-2022 03:43 PM

I am ok thanks tamobhuuta. I am sitting here waiting for a food parcel.

tamobhuuta 05-09-2022 03:55 PM

Fun times. Do you have a time they'll come?

Cacoethes 05-09-2022 04:10 PM

Work was pretty easy anyway.
And i got to leave early because it was dead.
So not too bad.

one_step_closer 05-09-2022 04:19 PM

Hi everyone. I hope your day is going ok.

I hope you're ok, Beckie. What will you be doing now work is finished for the day? Do you have your internet back yet?

Cacoethes 05-09-2022 04:31 PM

Hey lindsay

Nope no Internet.
I think they've cut me off because i haven't paid the bill.
Usually they give me a good few months before they threaten to cut it off but they appear to have just done it this time

not_so_insig 05-09-2022 07:19 PM

The good news is that I wasn't hallucinating the bird the other day. I went to the post box and noticed a bird cage next to the window in one of the flats. So there's definitely a bird.

tamobhuuta 05-09-2022 09:00 PM

That's a relief!

Pi.R^2 05-09-2022 09:06 PM

Beckie, thanks for your withdrawal sympathy! And your srs bsns marriage advice :P Same to you Zurg and sorry you had such a negative experience with a rodent fb group - some people can be ridiculous and militant.
